Grilled A Couple Of Steaks

      Our local grocer had nice-looking New York Strips, USDA Prime, on sale for a low, low $15.99 a pound -- about as cheap I have seen them over the last year.  And the weather wasn't bad today; it cooled off a little in the afternoon, but it was dropping from a high of 59°F or more.

      So I grilled.  The usual accompaniments, a nice green salad with tomatoes, carrots, sweet peppers and Castelvetrano olives plus baked potatoes.  I made a side dish or steak topping with mushrooms, sweet peppers and shishito peppers in a little butter, and let it bubble away in a small pot on the grill as the steaks cooked.

      It's better than nearly a foot of snow!

OK so I've done the math twice. With a calculator, at least once.

I don't like paying more than R100/kilo for steak. Don't get me wrong, I hardly ever get to pay that, good steak goes for closer to R130/kilo.

But that's still around $4/pound.

Unless I have my decimals decimated or the US pound is smaller than the UK pound or something...

Welcome to Economics 101. Prices in Indianapolis are about average for the U.S. Elsewhere...not so much.
